I believe this all relates to how old everyone is within your unit.. age is a big factor when it comes to youngsters.. a "Home Sick" feeling could set in.. then there is the one night camping issue.. seems a bit rush.. setup tear down.. at least do a short weekend once or twice then gradually extend the time to include a Friday or Monday or both..

Sometimes when the kids want to go camping for a night, we just set the tent up in the backyard and have a mini camping session. Down fall... no fire pit... so so fire made mallows! :/ But we still get to tell scary stories and tent. Yes, it is not in the middle of the wilderness, but it still gets that feel for camping.
